Kirsty Sharp, Headteacher of King’s College – The British School Frankfurt

At the beginning of the year, we welcomed King’s College – The British School of Frankfurt as one of our newest Frankfurt Main Finance members. In an interview with Headteacher Kirsty Sharp, we discuss why they joined the Financial Centre Initiative and where she sees the strengths of the Financial Centre Frankfurt.

Why join FMF as a supporter of the Financial Centre Frankfurt?

King’s College – The British School of Frankfurt was opened as the 10th school of the King’s Group in August 2018 in Friedrichsdorf, 20 km north of downtown. Our schools have historically worked closely with international companies, diplomatic missions and institutions to learn more about educational needs locally. Across its schools, the King’s Group currently has students from more than 80 nations, providing us with a wealth of experience in teaching students from different cultures and backgrounds. Relative to the forthcoming Brexit, as a member of FMF we would offer support to families interested in British curriculum arriving new to the region.

How does Kings College contribute to the development of the Financial Centre Frankfurt?

A British school is present in most major cities and is an integral part of an international educational culture. A wide range of internationally oriented schools is vital to the attractiveness of a metropolis in providing a convincing infrastructure for global companies, their employees and families. With King’s College Frankfurt, the city now offers a British school of international renown, with sufficient capacity for up to 600 students in a state-of-the-art campus easily accessible to the Financial Centre and residential areas.

Where do you see the strengths of the Financial Centre?

Frankfurt – a strong economic area and centre of European monetary policy – is a very attractive location for international companies, especially banks. Due to the international airport, its geographical location as the cosmopolitan heart of Europe and the close-to-nature surroundings, Frankfurt has great potential for many major companies.

As a Spanish/British company recently established in Germany, the King’s Group finds the often cited ‘German thoroughness’ and interaction with public, fiscal and infrastructural official facilities very positive, transparent, and requirements are easy and quick to implement. We have received excellent support from many sources in all areas, so that in a very short time, our institution and all employees here in the Frankfurt Rhine-Main region feel welcome and as part of the community
